That is going to be a sight to behold. Leicester will be walking into a lions den. 

Great that Franks back but I had a ticket sorted for this game, thats now gone ha ha....damn you Frank.

It's good to have a manager that is proper Chels. Since we sacked Jose the second time, I've known full well that our managers have seen us as a stepping stone, no intention of sticking around. No offence to them, but they were never long term things. It's hard to put my finger on, but it honestly feels a bit mercenary. Managers who are here for the quick buck. Players with so little pride in the badge they'll down tools for a season if they don't like the training or whatever. 

Frank may or may not last a while, but I know he cares about the club. I know he's a fan, just like us. It actually feels like we could get some of the identity back that we have been missing. We're not a clone of what the "next big thing" gaffer did at his last club. We're Chelsea. We're not a stepping stone, or an easy ride. We're Chelsea. 

I don't know how well you'll do, I don't know if you're a good manager or not. But good luck Frank. Great to have you back.

Our very own super hero is back, and he has no pressure first season...a perfect comeback.

I understand why some fans feel the need to be negative and concerned, I'm usually one of the worse but I'm hoping, if nothing else, we can just enjoy this moment.

i feel like i have "my" club back again

cant explain why just feels like its back to being Chelsea

What a huge boost this puts around the club in a difficult period. I really do look forward to the start of the season and hearing "Oh Franky Lampard Scored 200......" every home game ? 

YES!!!!!

Only Lampard can make us forget about Hazard loss instantly.

Welcome home Super Frank!!! Bring on the season!

Press conference at 2pm for those who don't know.

Great to have Frank back, hopefully it will be a fun season with a manager and coaching team that are Chels. 

Welcome back Jody too, his farewell to Derby showed what a class act he is to. His final sentence says it all.

 

Happy....?

Really like jody morris, i thought he was going to be the new dennis wise for us but it never materialized for various reasons. 

I think he is going to be a key component for us moving forward.

 

I have had one year in Derby which was unbelievable but I’ve had a lifetime of loving and supporting The Chels.. @dcfcofficial will be the first results I look for..always a Cockney ??

Jody is coming home also!

Getting jody back is equally as important as Frank's return in my opinion, I've a feeling he will be the one to help integrate the youth players, and help Th along. 

Anyone else having trouble playing the press conference? Neither the website nor the app are working for me atm.

Hopefully this holds up ok

I’ve just got a big smile on my face. 

That statement from Jody Morris says a lot about his character. Very respectful and considerate. Clearly they had a great thing going at Derby last season so the decision to switch to Chelsea wouldn't have been taken lightly, but ultimately they're both Chelsea men to the core so it was always going to happen. Although a few of their fans might be acting like twats about this, you have to give credit to Derby for not making things difficult for us or trying to stand in Frank's or Jody's way.

Good level headed interview. 

?

A lot of backroom staff in even without the rumoured Didier and Maka, so looks to be getting a lot of help.

So happy about this and it just keeps reminding me of the year Eddie Mac won us promotion with with a side made up of young and exciting players, loved that season. COME ON FRANKIE LAMPARD'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY 

 I am absolutely over the moon!  I hope Lamps will quickly instill his character, attitude and work ethics into the team. Love it, love it, love it!

Backroom staff confirmed as Jody Morris, Chris Jones joining from Derby and Joe Edwards along with Eddie Newton moving into coaching roles with the first team. 

We've had such cosmopolitan coaching staff for such a long time now it's almost strange to think the core of the coaching team is going to be British this year. 

Good opportunities all round for young British coaches at Chelsea with Frank's appointment.
